Title

Antidepressant-like effect of triterpenoids extracts from Poria cocos on the CUMS rats by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and LC-MS metabolomics

Overall design

The aim of this study was to explore the antidepressant-like effect and a potential mechanism of the triterpenoids extracts from Poria cocos. 16S rRNA gene sequencing techniques coupled with the LC-MS metabolomics were performed to study the effects of Poria cocos on chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) rats and the potential mechanism based on metabolomics and gut microbiota. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 3 groups (n = 6 in each group): (1) control group, (2) CUMS group, and (3) CUMS + Poria cocos group (stressor plus Poria cocos treatment at the dose of 15 g/kg). The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks, and drugs were administered via intragastric once per day during the model building period.
